Improve the given sentence if necessary.

There is many a slip between the cup and lip.

A) cup and lip B) cups and lips
C) the cup and the lip D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the cup and the lip

Explanation:

The phrase ‘between the cup and lip’ needs to be replaced with ‘between the cup and the lip’. It means a situation where things did not happen at the last minute the way they were expected to due to unforeseen reasons. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘There is many a slip between the cup and the lip’.

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Everyone expected Mary Zophres to win for her retro-revival Technicolor clothes in La La Land — the eventual winner, Colleen Atwood for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, seemed surprised too. But as other awards began to slip away from the well-reviewed musical, a theme could be teased out. What is Fantastic Beasts if not a plea for equal treatment of people, magical or otherwise? Then, Arrival, a film about the inherent benignity of aliens (read immigrants) won for Best Sound Editing. Hacksaw Ridge, which is, in a way, an anti-guns movie, won in two categories. Fences, about an African-American father who fears racial discrimination, took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Earlier, Moonlight, featuring two minority communities (black and gay), won for Best Supporting Actor. This turned out to be one of those years the Oscar voter was underestimated. As a majority of voters are actors, there was the tendency to think they'd reward La La Land, a celebration of creation: the heroine wants to make movies, the hero wants to make jazz. It looked like the year of The Artist all over again.

 

Colleen Atwood won which Award?

A) Best Costume Design for La La Land B) Best Supporting Actor for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
C) Best Supporting Actor for La La Land D) Best Costume Design for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Best Costume Design for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
